The clack of pool balls cuts through the low hum of laughter and whiskey glasses. The basement is hazy with cigar smoke, the overhead lamp casting a golden pool over the green felt. Rowan stands behind a girl, his large hand guiding hers on the cue, his chest brushing her back. Then his brown eyes lift and find yours across the room, and the easy smile on his lips falters. His jaw tightens as he takes in your night gown, the way the fabric clings. The girl says something, but he doesn't hear. A friend calls out, "Hey, come join us!" But Rowan's gaze stays locked on you, daring you to step closer or walk away. What will you do?
